One month ago you made yourself a promise: you were going to turn your life around. You were going to get a real job, stay out of jail, and not get into any more trouble with cults. Nobody thought you could do it; they said your questionable reputation, lack of any useful skills, and flagrant alcoholism would always hold you down.

But you had a plan.

You were going to start over, far from home. You pawned off your belongings, withdrew the rest of your inheritance, and narrowly managed to buy your way onto a merchant ship bound for Cyrodiil.

And now you have arrived, alone and penniless in a foreign country. Rounding up to the nearest week, you’ve been sober for an entire seven days. This is your chance to be whatever you want to be. Whoever you want to be.

You think you’ll start with a new name. Something less ethnic, maybe suitably Imperial, to fit in in your new home.

From there you can click the Next button to go to the next story post, just like you can here. OR you can just read through the thread.

Kazerad edit: some people were getting confused by this post and not knowing if they were supposed to read at the link or not, so I moved it down on the comments a little. For anyone wondering, Liquid Dinosaur’s link goes to the original forum thread, before the whole story was copied to this site.

I know everything. :))

I haven’t played oblivion, but a lot of friends recommended this comic so I am looking forward to reading this 😀

Suraru

same here, im thinking of getting oblivion because of this comic.

do i have to play the first ones to understand the story? or what

Tallgrass

Not at all. The most you’d get from playing all the games is knowledge of the lore, culture, etc. Otherwise, each game can be played standalone, with its own story.

“You think you’ll start with a new name. Something less ethnic, maybe suitably Imperial, to fit in in your new home.”
See anything wrong here Kaz?
I’m not expecting to go to sleep anytime soon. Still a little bit tweaked off the coffee. So I’m just going to look through each and every page and search for every single typo you have ever made.

Nope, it is supposed to be that way! The repeated word is inelegant, but grammatically correct. “Fit in your new home” would just imply her old name was too fat.

Vincent

I thought you were getting at the inherent racism of suggesting a new name that’s not so ‘ethnic’.

Katia Managan is by far the best looking khajiit I’ve seen……..but shes an idiot

Thornclaw

Just sad!

Rambo Dash

And thus began the adventure of a lifetime. :’)

Godspeed, Ja’khajiit.

When I first came to the website, it was in the middle of the second dream sequence, after the king went into really scary mode, and it kinda looked to me like the adventure had finished, with evil prevailing. like, It was a reeeely scary thing dominating the page, and a link for new readers.

Homestuck is not better. Got boring after it got to the part where it introduces problem sleuth. Problem Sleuth was very irritating and annoying.

And so begins the greatest and slowest updated webcomic of the Internet I know of.

Bitch please, Lackadaisy.

i remember when it updated regularly.

Bob

Wasn’t that back when this shit was on a forum?

There, it was an obligation to continue the story, lest have the entire thread deleted for being “Dead”.

DukeBammerfire

I just found a link to a page of this today and decided to read it, and have inhaled the entire archive. It’s given me the feeling mspa stuff has given me, and stuff like RubyQuest. I’m now a dedicated fan and just wanted to say that this story is one of those ones that change you as a person after experiencing. It’s, kind of silly but I’m kind of stunned and emotional, but I know it’s in a good way.

That “eep op ork ah-ah.” What he said has something to do with his exhaust port and a virus. Good luck.

Moo?

I am from deh future! New readers beware the awesomeness prequel has to offer!!!

Moo?

And the SEX

TheNoobzTubez

To anyone just starting this web comic, there are so many plot twists, the story practically tied itself in a knot. Also, if you get attached to Katia Managan like I did, you will want to punch Kaz in the face soooo bad

Ata

I just finished re-reading this, and I have to say that it is absolutely 100% fantastic, and just as wonderful as I remembered it to be. <333 Keep up the good work.

Returning back here sometimes truly is like taking in a new breath of fresh air.

as it turns out, 4 and a half days is the equivalent of 3 years.

I am also from the future, but farther! Can’t flip a table with an unfinished puzzle on top. Remember that.

I love this story, I started 3 days ago, and I am all read at the part where ******SPOILER****** The guard breaks into the dinner. ******SPOILER OVER****** I love this story, and I can’t wait to continue reading.

Who are you, Kazerad said,
That I might know your soul.
Only Khajiit of yellow coat,
That’s spent her savings whole.
With eye of fear and eye of night,
And Suthay still have claws,
But name unknown or hid, Khajiit,
A new one will be yours.

And so he wrote, and so he wrote
That Lord of Prequel ‘Venture
But now the cat waits on the dock,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the cat waits on the dock,
and not a soul to hear.
